I am typing this while bouncing on the couch…happily. I have just written the messiest localStorage setup that anyone could probably ever write. Ever. This thing is cringeworthy. But I’m happy. Because it works. And it works like this.

Flying in the face of midterms and other IRL issues, Lemma boldly marches on! Spawn Point Graphics I realized you need a way to know where you'll respawn if you die, so I added some spawn point graphics. Got the idea from Borderlands. Actually can we talk about Borderlands? Man, every time I play a good game I have to resist the urge to start incorporating its ideas into my projects. If I ever announce that Lemma will feature randomly gen..

A proposito di TypeScript vi segnalo Thoughts on TypeScript, il miglior articolo che ho letto finora sul nuovo nato in casa Microsoft. I’m happy that regular JavaScript can be written in TypeScript and still benefit from some of the type checking provided by the TypeScript compiler. That means writing TypeScript can actually help people learn JavaScript, which makes me happy.

tl;dr Checkout the charts on my RaspberryPi ** For quite a long time I was looking for a way to monitor and record th temperature and humidity at my apartment. What was missing was a convenient, preferably wireless solution. After receiving my RaspberryPi I started to look into that more intensively. USB-WDE1 Receiver The USB Weather Data Receiver USB-WDE1 wirelessly receives data from various weather sensors of ELV at 868 MHz.

A feature thats glaringly missing within Django and common in many other frameworks including many Java frameworks and Rails is connection pooling for your database connection. As most Django users are Postgres users the default answer is to use something like pgPool or pgBouncer. This are tools that you can run that will persist a connection to your Postgres database intended to offer: Connection Pooling Replication Load Balancing Its....

Numberphile posted a video today describing a neat trick based on complete sequences: The mathematics here is pretty simple, but I noticed at the end of the video that Dr. Grime was constructing the cards by hand, when really this is a job for a computer program. I thought it would be a nice warmup exercise (and a treat to all of the Numberphile viewers) to write a program to construct the cards for any complete sequence.

Ieri Microsoft ha annunciato TypeScript, nuovo linguaggio fortemente tipizzato il cui codice compilato è puro JavaScript. TypeScript aggiunge classi, controllo degli errori in compilazione, completamento del codice in fase di sviluppo, e tante altre cose interessanti. Miguel de Icaza, il cervello dietro Xamarin e la piattaforma Mono, ha sintentizzato le sue prime impressioni sul progetto. Interessanti anche i commenti di uno degli svilup..

It turns out it is non trivial (afaict) to include a tree of files (a directory) in a python distutils data_files argument. Here’s how I managed to do it, while also allowing the programmer to include manual entries: NAME = 'project_name' distutils . core . setup( # ... data_files = [ ( 'share/ %s ' % NAME, [ 'README' ]), ( 'share/ %s ' % NAME, [ 'files/somefile' ]), ( 'share/ %s /templat..

java.util.logging.ErrorManager: 4: Unable to create [c:pache-tomcat-7.0.30 -Dcatalina.home=c:pache-tomcat-7.0.30\logs\]
I was getting this error recently, and found that it was caused by having a trailing backslash on my CATALINA_HOME variable. i.e. Incorrect: set CATALINA_HOME=c:pache-tomcat-7.0.30\
Correct: set CATALINA_HOME=c:pache-tomcat-7.0.30

Hi all, Been a hectic couple of weeks with some family weddings and working hard on the day job. Got some time yesterday to work on a couple of new features and fixes for the Wp7 and Win 8 versions of BBC News Mobile. Windows Phone Fixed intermittent issue where the app showed error info when reading certain stories, thanks to everyone who let me know about this. Hopefully improved the accuracy of the image selection for the stories..

After js13kGames I went back to the main project I was working on and decided to change pretty much everything. The good thing is that I still had some usable code. The “bad” thing is this updated idea involved a lot of UI, which I haven’t really done much before. When I say “bad” I actually mean awesomely challenging, which it has been.

Hi all, I’ve just put the finishing touches to my new app that’s been alive for a while now as a personal project. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve put in the final push to get it up to scratch and get it published. If you’re a current user of http://hypem.com or a fan of new music, then hopefully this will be right up your street. The app pulls together the latest music charts from The Hype Machine and combines it with artist infor..

So I use one of the famous Herman Miller Aeron chairs in my home office. I love it primarily because the mesh seat prevents swampass , but of course overall it is a highly ergonomic chair, nicely adjustable, rugged, and holds its value well. My specific chair was made in 2000 and I bought it used on craigslist for $250 in 2009. Today exactly the 12-year warranty finally expires. About two weeks ago it suddenly broke. A thin rod broke f....

Problem: Prove there are infinitely many prime numbers. Solution: First recall that an arithmetic progression with difference $ d$ is a sequence of integers $ a_n \subset \mathbb{Z}$ so that for every pair $ a_k, a_{k+1}$ the difference $ a_{k+1} – a_k = d$. We proceed be defining a topology on the set of integers by defining a basis $ B$ of unbounded (in both directions) arithmetic progressions. That is, an open set in this topology is an ..

I have tried to create a simple process for debriefing workshops. This is the current process I use, and I think it may be useful for others. I give everyone sticky notes with three colors I ask everyone to write “a thing that surprised you about the workshop”, “a thing that you learned today” and “a thing that you plan to do as a result of the workshop”. Each question goes on a different color sticky note.
